It is upholstered with unique Oyster leather and Aubergine trim with Connoisseur SE specification that includes Hi-Line satellite navigation and many additional top-of-the-range items that combine to make this a very special Rover car.

The replica five-millionth Rover 75 Saloon automatic was valued new at £27,753, with the added extra of a Sony DVD at £2,127, glass electric sunroof at £470 and Personal Line trim at £383 - a total of £30,733.

The original five-millionth Rover car is retained by the company as part of its history brand collection.
